And then just peat moss and imma mix a little more perlite in it this time make it more grainy
I bought some plant food to put in the water also but I'm scared to because for 1 I haven't needed any food up until this poimtt, and also i want it to be "organic" I guess lol
And how are u by the way?

Yeah just get the bigger pot and make sure it's clean, and the peat moss absorbs and holds alot of water, so you don't have to water it that often. What happens is the roots basically get deprived of oxygen I think, just over saturated and wet all the time. After awhile ''root rot'' can set in.
You almost want the soil to get close to dry before you water again. The roots will search out for more water and the plant will get bigger. You obviously don't want to let the soil get completely dry, but you want to find that period where you know if you wait another, half a day or whatever, the soil will be dry. They need to get air.
The perlite will help alot with that, you can honestly probably due a 50/50 perlite peat moss mix. It doesn't really matter to be honest, as long as the plant can still stand up in the looser soil. You don't want it to have so much perlite that it doesn't retain water, so just slowly add in perlite until it seems like a good, light mixture, that can still retain moisture.
If you go in, and water right before your lights come on, that should last you an entire day at least. So really, you only want to water maybe once a day, maybe once every 2, just depending on how light your mixture is. You can feel how moist it is by just poking it with your hand and shit, down into the soil. If it's wet you don't need to water yet.
As for adding food to it, the plant basically needs to have a form of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium(NPK) to reach it's potential, and that's what the plant will eat. Giving it only water, will work, but it won't become a strong plant that can produce alot of weight and well developed buds in comparison.
You can still be '' organic '' and add those nutrients.
Try Earth Juice:

At this point though, 6 weeks into flowering, assuming you're flowering for 8-10 weeks? You can focus more on the P and K, as the nitrogen is usually used more in the growth stage. You could get some and use it for a week, but then you'd want to use the last week to flush out any excess salts. It might not be worth it to add alot of food at this point, but it would be good to have for your next grow.
